Toronto – TheNewswire - December 15, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”) (CSE:NWI), (CNSX:NWI.CN), (OTC:NWIFF), (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced continued positive results from extended ground geophysics conducted on the Sunbeam high-grade gold property (“Sunbeam” or the “Property”) near Atikokan in north-western Ontario.  The surveys were conducted to expand coverage along strike from previously identified anomalous target-trends, associated with widespread and high-grade gold mineralization, obtained from earlier geophysical surveys conducted on the project.

“The expanded geophysical surveys at Sunbeam have considerably extended coverage on the extensively gold mineralized Sunbeam-Roy Trend as well as commencing coverage along the equally well mineralized, subparallel Pettigrew Trend to the north.  The results indicate the presence of extensive, prospective terrane along 4.5 kilometres of strike on the combined, historic Sunbeam and Roy trends as well as extending between the two, and along more than one kilometre on the Pettigrew Trend; all anomalous trends remain open along strike.  We now consider the geology of the entire package underlying the south part of the Sunbeam project to be prospective, gold-mineralized, target terrane,” said Paul Jones, CEO. “The survey results demonstrate extension of anomalous target zones in the Road and Roy zones with further extension to the northeast.  Equally importantly the WN2-Rubble high-grade gold occurrence about 1.5 kilometres to the north is underlain by a strong chargeability trend that is open to both east and west. All these results provide high-priority drill ready targets for testing in drill programs.

The survey was conducted by Simcoe Geoscience using their Alpha IP™ system; it added 2.7  kilometres of coverage along the strike of known gold-mineralized trends and for the first time at the Sunbeam Project continuous geophysical coverage was established over the gold mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine, Road Zone, and Roy Deposit and extending to the east and west, as well as commencing coverage over the Pettigrew Trend 1.5 kilometres to the north, another locus for high-grade gold mineralization.

The Sunbeam Gold Property encompasses numerous sites of gold mineralization and includes the historic, underground, Sunbeam Mine that operated between 1898 and 1905, as well as the Roy and Pettigrew deposits, and a number of other gold showings (refer to OGS MDI 52B14SW0014, updated 2015). Mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine is hosted by a 30m wide sheared zone of altered, schistose rock. Gold mineralization occurs within a southwest striking quartz vein/chloritic zone that now been traced from surface to at least 200m vertically in Nuinsco drilling programs and along strike for more than 300m in pits and shafts. Similar mineralization has been observed on the Sunbeam lineament along strike from the Sunbeam Mine and on sub-parallel structures.  A 1903 plan of the Sunbeam mine shows an average grade of ~13g/t Au in the historic workings (refer to OGS OFR 5539).  There has been no exploration of the formerly patented Sunbeam mine site since the mine closed 116 years ago. Intermittent exploration on mineral claims around the patent was conducted between 1981 and 2012.

The Sunbeam Gold Property consists of 110 unpatented mining claims (218 cells), covering 48.8km2, situated 27km northeast of the town of Atikokan, Ontario, and 12km southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef gold deposit. It is easily accessible via well maintained logging roads from Hwy 11. The property is traversed by at least three sub-parallel, northeast-trending, gold-mineralized trends secondary to the regionally extensive, sub-province bounding Quetico Fault. Collectively these trends now total approximately 30 kilometres of mineralized target domain on the Property and host 10 gold occurrences; it is an extensive exploration target that extends to all parts of the Property, has seen only intermittent historic exploration and represents an excellent opportunity to be comprehensively explored. A number of the occurrences have returned high-grade assays from grab-samples and limited drilling (refer to map). Elsewhere historic pits and shafts have been excavated to conduct exploration at the Roy, Pettigrew and Road occurrences – all of which contain gold mineralization that merits further exploration.  Previous work also identified new occurrences of strong anomalous gold mineralization from grab samples.
